Structural characterization of boron-containing glassy and semi-crystalline Biosilicate® by multinuclear NMR

In vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies - including histopathological, cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity analyses - over the past 25 years have proven the tremendous potential of Biosilicate® in appliance as osteoinductive powders, scaffolds and even monolithic pieces. Within continuing efforts to improve the properties of this bioactive material, in this article we explore the structural consequences of incorporating boron in small amounts and its...
